Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday afternoon announced that he would nominate Justice Paul Feinman to the State Court of Appeals seat left vacant by the death of Sheila Abdus-Salaam.
In an interview on NY1, the Democratic governor called Feinman “an extraordinary human being and will be a great addition on that court.”
If confirmed by the State Senate, Feinman would become the first openly gay judge to serve on the state’s highest court.
